Thank you for testing this, Felipe.

I'm aware of these messages and should have mentioned them in the commit
log.

.setopacityalpha comes from pstricks-base package's pstricks.pro, which
defines prologue code.  So pstricks-base will need yet another update when
it becomes actually unavailable.

I plan to keep these warning messages for a while.
New commands in a Makefile might behave unexpectedly.
I'm just cautious.  ;-)
